### Please describe the problem.

I'm not sure this is a bug.

We are trying to share a git-lfs special remote on GitLab, encrypted with gcrypt, but one client is getting  "gpg: decryption failed: No secret key" when getting or copying content, but sync works well.

I followed the [private encrypted git remote on a git-lfs hosting site](https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/fully_encrypted_git_repositories_with_gcrypt/#index4h2) guide.

I can sync/add/get git-annex content from the git-lfs special remote (named origin), I can also clone the repository on another machine and get/copy content to origin with no problems.

My collegue (listed in gcryt-participants) is able to clone the repo and sync the remote but he cannot get/add content to it (see below). 

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Fist I created an new empty project on GitLab

On my machine I created an empty swws-library directory then:

[[!format sh """
git init

# initialize git annex and set the encrypted git-lfs remote
git annex init
git annex initremote origin type=git-lfs url=gcrypt::git@gitlab.com:softwareworkers/swws-library.git keyid=FCE2EDE78BD9B2CB keyid=D37D0EA7CECC3912
git config remote.origin.gcrypt-participants "D37D0EA7CECC3912 FCE2EDE78BD9B2CB"

git annex sync
# I had to unprotect the master branch in the GitLab project repository settings and again:
git annex sync

# Add a couple of media files
git annex sync --content


# All went fine
"""]]

Then, my collegue (the owner of the FCE2EDE78BD9B2CB gpg key) cloned the repository and:

[[!format sh """
git annex enableremote origin
git config remote.origin.gcrypt-participants "D37D0EA7CECC3912 FCE2EDE78BD9B2CB"
git push origin master git-annex
git annex sync
# git annex add <some media>
git annex sync
# all is going fine
"""]]

On my machine I can "git annex sync origin" and get the updated repository, but my collegue cannot get or copy from/to that remote:

[[!format sh """
a9i@trix:~/Repos/SW/swws-library$ git annex get 
smarketing/220517_workshop_testuale_part1.mp3
get smarketing/220517_workshop_testuale_part1.mp3 (from origin...)
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

   user error (gpg 
["--batch","--no-tty","--use-agent","--quiet","--trust-model","always","--decrypt"] 
exited 2)

   Unable to access these remotes: origin

   Maybe add some of these git remotes (git remote add ...):
	5e070ec6-adbe-4a60-be06-af60b777d03f -- 
g@renaissance:~/{git}/softwareworkers.it/swws-library
failed
get: 1 failed
"""]]

This is the debug output when copying annexed files to the origin remote:

[[!format sh """

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Oh yes, I'm using git-annex since many many years ago and it's my preferred storage solution, I really love it!

**Kudos** Joey!
